2. RULES The sweepstakes classes will be conducted under AQHA rules. Please note that rules will be strictly enforced.

3. GO-ROUNDS AND FINALS A. There will be two go-rounds and a short go-round. 20 horses and ties will be selected for the short go-round, based on the fastest times run out of both go-rounds combined (not composite times). B. Monies will be paid to the fastest times in each go-round and the short go-round. C. The average winner will be based on the fastest composite times from two go-rounds. The fastest timed run in the short go-round added to the fastest timed run out of the first two go-rounds will determine the winner. D. A horse must have the same rider in the go-rounds and the short go-round. Any change in riders must be made by the show manager, for dire emergencies only.
